Bulk DoDAAC Delete option within DoDAAD 

1. ORIGINATING SERVICE/AGENCY AND POC INFORMATION: Enterprise Business 

Standards Office (EBSO), DoDAAD PRC Chair, Mr. Richard Morrow, at 571-527-6692, e-mail: 

EBSO.DoDAAD@dla.mil. 

2. REFERENCE:

a. DLM 4000.25, Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS), Volume 6, 

Chapter 2, Department of Defense Activity Address Directory.

b. ADC 1337, Advanced DoDAAD Search by DoDAAC List

c. DoDAAD Update Application Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

3. APPROVED CHANGE(S):

a. Brief Overview of Change: This change enhances the DoDAAD Update 

Application. The Central Server Point (CSP) will create an Excel file containing a list of 

DoDAACs to be deleted. This file will be updated into the DoDAAD Update Application and 

used to set the delete date of every DoDAACs on the list to the current date.

b. Background:

(1) There are times when a Central Service Point (CSP) needs to remove multiple 

DoDAACs. Currently, a single update requires approximately one to two minutes to delete one 

DoDAAC. First, the DoDAAC must be retrieved. Second, the delete date must be set. Third, 

the DoDAAC update submit action initiated. If a CSP needed to delete just 200 DoDAACs, that 

process would take the entire workday.

(2) The bulk query capability has been used successfully within the Enhanced DAAS 

Inquiry (eDAASINQ) application. ADC 1337, Query List Search, allows for the retrieval of up 

to 1,000 DoDAACs with a single list of DoDAACs submitted in an Excel file. This change is 

building on that process to allow deletions by a CSP to occur in a similar fashion.

c. Proposed Change in Detail:

(1) DAAS will need to add an upload button to the DoDAAD Update Application 

selection page (where the user would normally supply a DoDAAC or RIC). The Excel file will 

contain a single column of DoDAACs in column A (no header). 

(2) Once the Excel file is uploaded, there will be a button to execute the update 

function (labeled “Run Excel Update – see below for sample layout):

(3) The delete date will be the current date. There will be no ability to set a date in 

the past or future. 

(4) After the “Run Excel Update” button is pressed, the update will run and report 

back the number of DoDAACs changed. This reporting of the number of records changed 

during the update is important to the CSP. If the number is less than the number of DoDAACs 

submitted, further research may be required.

(5) If the CSP requires additional information, the same list of DoDAACs can be 

submitted into the eDAASINQ Excel query to view the records changed by the update process. 

d. Revisions to Defense Logistics Manuals: N/A

4. REASON FOR CHANGE: It removes the need to make a special request of DAAS for 

batch deletions.

5. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

a. Advantages: Provides more control for the CSPs and allow changes to be complete 

more quickly and efficiently.

b. Disadvantages: None

6. ESTIMATED TIMELINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: Authorized for immediate 

implementation by DAAS upon publication of the Approved Standards Change (ADC). The 

following targeted deadlines are provided: 

a. DAAS: Target timeline for DAAS to implement this change is 90 days from the 

publication of the ADC. 

b. Services/Agencies: This update is only for the DoDAAD Update Application at 

DAAS. No impact to any Service/Agency application or process. 

7. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: This change will save money by reducing the 

time required to delete multiple DoDAACs with a single command. However, a dollar estimate 

is not feasible because the need for such a capability is intermittent and often tied to a special 

project.

8. IMPACTS:

a. New/Change Data Elements: N/A. 

b. Automated Information Systems (AIS): DoDAAD Update Application.

c. Army and Air Force. No change required.

d. Non-DLM Publications: DoDAAD Update Application Standard Operating 

Procedures (SOP).
